To an extent, this has already taken place. With the he thaw developing in relations between America and China, Russia, feeling the need for a new and powerful ally in Asia signed a treaty of "mutual understanding'" with India last year. A similar thing may happen with Japan. China and Japan have been historical enemies, and it is no secret that the present Japanese government is yiewing .
